THE DRI-BLOCK ®
Please read all the information in this manual before using the unit.
Techne's Dri-Block ® heaters provide a safe, dry, constant temperature source
in the laboratory. You can use the units for incubation, boiling, inactivation,
wet ashing, sample concentration, enzyme analysis and many other clinical
and industrial purposes.
The units cover the temperature range from 25°C to 200°C using machined
aluminium alloy blocks as the heat transfer medium: temperature control
circuits are built into the unit. Independent indicator lights indicate mains
power, heater action and overtemperature cut-out. An ON/OFF switch is
mounted on the rear panel, together with the mains connector and a double
fuse holder.
The units are constructed in PPS plastic, which is strong yet lightweight and
can resist sustained temperatures as high as 260°C. Even though the units
heat up rapidly, highly efficient insulation ensures that cases remains cool
enough to handle even at maximum operating temperatures.
Techne's Dri-Block ® range has been designed to comply with all relevant RF
(Radio Frequency) interference and electrical safety regulations.
